I suppose in a fight Reed might be useful if he uses his body to cushion his team mates from attacks like punches from people with super strength, etc. Offensively though..Pym can turn really small or into a giant sized version. Unless he lost the ability to turn big.

Just to be clear here.. I'm asking who of the 2 Reed or Hank would be the better asset on a team when it comes to physical support rather than prep/planning support type of help.
Please, even Reed has gone on record as saying his powers arent as important/useful (its not like he's Plastic Man, folks) as what he brings to the table intellectually.
Pym brings just as much of the latter, and as for the former, he has legit offense/defense that can stand up to/take down most top tiers.
I wouldn't call them intellectual equals. Though Pym is certainly close to Reed when it comes to intellect.

Fighting the amped absorbing man, holding up large building, & a few time skyscrapers.
Even his lower tier foes like Whirlwind & Radioactive man hit harder than Reed could muster.
Pym beat him last time, but honestly I'd say they are equals with Reed having greater mastery of science fiction type stuff & Pym having some mastery over magic.
What made Stark think his powers made him so smart? Did he lose his powers in a story and show he wasn't as smart as he once was? Wasn't he a genius even before the accident? I know Ultimate Reed Richards could make himself smarter by stretching his brain.
